EDITORS COMMENTS
This mural painting, titled "Map of Indonesia: Sumatra, Malacca, Borneo, Java" takes us back in time to the 16th century. Created by Egnazio Danti, a renowned mathematician, cosmographer, and Italian architect, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The map depicts the vast archipelago of Indonesia with its prominent islands such as Sumatra, Malacca (now part of Malaysia), Borneo (known as Kalimantan today), and Java. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the geographical landscape of this Southeast Asian nation during that era. Adorned on the walls of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy's Sala del Mappamondo (Hall of Maps), this artwork is not only visually stunning but also holds historical significance. The intricate lines and colors used by Danti bring life to each island and waterway depicted on the map. As we observe this piece closely, we can appreciate how it captures both artistic beauty and scientific accuracy. It serves as a testament to Danti's expertise in cartography while showcasing his ability to create aesthetically pleasing works. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this remarkable print through her lens for Fine Art Finder. Through her photographical interpretation, she allows us to admire every minute detail present in Danti's original work. This image invites us to explore the rich history and diverse geography of Indonesia while appreciating the mastery behind its creation
